Reviews

This is an inquiry into fear as both a psychological and physical condition to be dealt with in medicine ... . This is a set of contributions that will be of interest to a wide audience, from writers and artists to practitioners ... . This study is different, starting with its double approach: medicine and the arts. (Alain Touwaide, Doody's Book Reviews, August, 2018)
